Our Verdict

If you’re sending under $1,000 then there is a fee of $3.99 – you can pay via your bank or debit card. Current rate is listed as 67.09 INR (better than the xe mid market rate when I checked). This is obviously a pretty great deal, unfortunately you’ll need to know somebody in India so you can send them the $50. After the fee you’ll becoming out ahead $36 in Amazon credit (slightly less really as it isn’t as good as cash and you’ll probably lose some money on the exchange rate possibly).

Some people have reported receiving their gift cards instantly on the slickdeals thread, others haven’t. Not sure what the difference is. Previous deals have been for $30 in Amazon credit, so not quite as good.
